Grievance 54 - Competence

The U.S. Constitution failed to set mental and physical health standards
for President that would avoid potential aberrant behavior affecting the
course of the nation and millions of lives.

Requirements for many private and government jobs with relatively minor
authority included medical and drug-free examinations, but people were
elected President and "Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces", with
enough firepower to launch mass death and destruction, with no periodic
examination for mental health, or alcohol or other drug and chemical
imbalance, that could pose public danger.

An individual could become Chief Executive Officer of the trillion
dollar government while having mental disorders or even "temporary
insanity", with no checks and balances in law for stability in behavior.

There was no requirement that candidates for President make public their
medical records, or that the office-holder undergo regular medical
examination for brain tumors, heart ailments or other health threats, in
order that the American people would be informed of any problems that
could result in succession of the Vice President to the highest office
in the land.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, individuals selected to hold exceptional governing authority,
are required to meet mental and physical health standards determined by a
vote of the people at-large.
